In commercial sales, arming yourself with the right product selection includes stockingseveral carpet tile selections along with broadloom carpet.
With the exception of physical size, today’s many offerings of carpet tile bear little resemblance to those of 20 years ago. Just about every major manufacturer has a dedicated production line for carpet tile; it is rare that carpet made for broadloom applications is chopped into 18” or 24” squares for carpet tile. PVC backings have been replaced by urethane or other composite backings. Hardback construction, which used to be the standard, has been largely replaced by soft cushion backing.
